By Partha Sinha Entropy fascinates because it announces itself. It spreads, decays and disperses. It makes noise. Like Kali, ...

Though a cornerstone of thermodynamics, entropy remains one of the most vexing concepts to teach budding physicists in the classroom. Physics teachers designed a hand-held model to demonstrate the ...

If you could see inside a dying star — and if your eyes were tuned to perceive that ephemeral property of the universe called entropy — this might be what you would see. Entropy is one way physicists ...

High-entropy alloys (HEAs) are promising materials for catalysis and energy storage, and at the same time they are extremely hard, heat resistant and demonstrate great variability in their magnetic ...

Tokyo, Japan – Researchers from Tokyo Metropolitan University have uncovered clues to understanding the behavior of high-entropy metal telluride superconductors. They found that features typical of ...

The unique properties of high-entropy alloys make them ideal for hydrogen storage, offering advantages in stability and performance over traditional materials.

In nature, the behavior of systems—whether large or small—is always governed by a few fundamental principles. For instance, objects fall downward because it minimizes their energy. At the same time, ...
